The Story

   The Lylat System. This small group of planets enjoyed many years of prosperity. The inhabitants lived in peace. That is, until Andross came into view. Andross was born and raised on Corneria, forth planet of the Lylat System and grew to be a brilliant scientist. Dr Andross had been focusing all his time and energy researching bio-technology. But since Corneria was a peaceful planet, this research went in vain. Over time his mind became twisted and his morals became demented. Andross went mad. One day, a weapon secretly developed by Andross was unleashed on the residents of Corneria. Andross had turned back on his home world. Corneria's major cities were damaged. Luckily, Andross was captured by General Pepper, charged with treason and exiled to the barren, deserted planet Venom.

   Five years passed when reports from Corneria's Space Observation Station had confirmed disturbing activity coming from Venom. General Pepper sent three members of the Starfox Team, James McCloud, Pigma Dengar and Peppy Hare, to investigate. When the Starfox Team arrived on Venom, Pigma betrayed his team mates and turned them over to his new master, Andross. Peppy barely managed to escape and returned to Corneria to report McCloud's fate to his son, Fox.

    Consumed with hatred, Andross declared war on the Lylat System. Slowly, Andross has taken control, planet by planet. Now, Andross is advancing on Corneria. General Pepper knows that Corneria's army alone cannot stop Andross. In his hour of need, he has turned to the new Starfox Team to save Corneria and free the Lylat System from Andross' evil clutches!
